Users is greeted with blank page : TypeError: e is undefined

Summary

One of our users has a blank page after logging in, a lot of things seem to work, he receives notifications, but the UI does not fully loads, the page stays blank. This only happens for one user

Steps to reproduce

We are using the mattermost gitlab integration, mattermost is Mattermost Version: 5.31.1, with Database Schema Version: 5.30.0 (is this normal, have I missed a schema upgrade ?)

Gitlab is installed with the docker method

Expected behavior

The UI is expected to load

Observed behavior

Again, blank screen, in the console, one error seems different than the other users :

Idk if the theme does not exists, so I reset the theme in the db, but it didn’t help, I tried deactivating and reactivating the user, we tried on different browsers and computers, but the same thing always happens =/
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Does the specific user have any unique permissions, settings, or related items that have been changed to differ from other users?

Hi, @arthur.toussaint

On top of the question asked by @XxLilBoPeepsxX , can we please confirm if this issue is reproducible across all sessions (desktop app / web browser / mobile app)? If the user is using web browser, can he/she confirm that the issue is also reproducible on the Incognito mode too?

Since you mentioned that it is happening for one user only, I would like to see if this could be an environment specific issue.

So I finally fixed it, it was a provlem with a typo in the code that wasn’t fixed, so I had to put a breakpoint before the error, do something like e.mentionBg = e.mentionBj; then I was able to access the account, and change the theme, and it fixed it
I guess I could have modified it server-side, but in the end it works
